- Welcome back to Angelo's Workbench and the Beginner "How-To" Video Series! In this series we are building the Revell 1970 Dodge Charger without using some of the more advanced tools such as an airbrush. In this installment we assemble the interior, do some detail painting of the chassis, install the glass, and attach the body and chassis. I hope you enjoy the video! Be sure to subscribe so you won't miss installment #7 where we move to final assembly. Thanks for watching!

This is a fun series. I was thinking about doing some models with my kids so I looked up some videos. Thanks for making them. One thing is all... I find myself wanting closeups quite often and not getting them.
Thank you some much for this series, it’s been a lot time since I’ve done a model. I looking forward to getting back to it. You tips explaining
Very good detail. Be sure to let your fellow modellers know that not all super glues can be used for clear glass, because super glue will fog the glass. O k, you just did. Great. Very good, I'm sure that the beginner could do this. Nice, Thx. I enjoyed it. ;)
Great "how to" . Thanks for showing it.
Another great how to. Thanks Angelo.
Beautiful brother keep up the awesome work
Great video Angelo. Lots of good tips. Ron
Awesome! I'm always checking for an upload :-)
Really nice video. I love it. Learned a thing or two. The more I'm looking at your build vid of that car, the more I feel like I can confirm that this kit is based on their 1969 Charger release, but with some little changes (like the clear part for the gauges), a new engine (instead of the 440), '70 front grill and '70 R/T rear lights/light pannel and a body without the vinyl molded in it. So I guess that people wanting to put a vinyl rooftop on their '70 could just do a body swap with a '69 kit in their stash.
Gr8 vids mate. I was thinking is there way to make it a right hand drive? For us Australians cheers
Thanks very much - glad you like the videos! I’d say with plastic all things are possible. You could cut and resection the dash or custom fabricate a dash. The other option would be to 3d print a new dash. All of these ideas sound like FUN! This is a good idea. You may see this in the future on this channel. Thank you!
Did you use any glue to mount the engine to the chassis?
Francisco Ovalle yes I definitely did. Model master glue.
Great video, just getting back into it again. My hobby room is almost complete. Have you ever run spark plug wires on engines ? I use thin black thread and then use melted wax lightly rubbing it into the thread to give them some rigidity.
Hi Angelo, I know that in the past you have used a lot of Dupli-color Clear Coat. Well lately as you probably know I've been using Gravity clear coat with my airbrush. Well, I wanted to try this Dupli-color clear to see if it is any easier to use. I was hoping that you could share with me any feedback on your experience. This is my first time using clearcoat from a rattle can. Thx, Mac
Michael McNeive I have used the rattle can clear but mostly I use the dupli-color clear from a quart I bought at the auto parts store. I like that it’s a 1k clear which means no mixing so it has a long shelf life. I do have to wet sand and polish to get a good shine. I’ve actually been meaning to try gravity clear also. I hope this helps.
Thx, Angelo. I really like their paint. I just don't like having to mix-up primmer ever time you want to prime a part. and you have to use all that you mixed right away, so I don't use their primer either. I don't understand why you need a 2k primer. I do understand using a 2k clearcoat. I'm just trying to find easier ways of doing things. Thx for the feedback, Mac
hi love yr videos on the charger I have this kit and I want to add a passengers door mirror any suggestion
ian white hi Ian sorry for the delay see my reply on your other comment. Cheers!
would tamiya extra thin work for the windows as well?
Big Slopes I wouldn’t. That stuff gets everywhere. For bare plastic to bare plastic it’s ideal but clear plastic it will damage any part it touches.
@@AngelosWorkbench would you recommend the model masters cement or Elmers glue for the clear parts?
So, now that you're using your airbrush, which clear coat do you like best?
Michael McNeive for ease of use and low cost I really like the dupli color quart. I do want to try Gravity though.
What I was trying to find out is what type of thinner you use with the Dupli-Color clear coat?
Michael McNeive it is also made by dupli color - they make lacquer thinner as well. I get it in the big metal container they sell for about $20 and it lasts me a very long time.
You say that you like to use the quart size. I picked up a can at the auto parts store, but it's the 8oz size. I was just wondering if there are different types. I haven't used it yet. On the can it says Dupli-Color Perfect Match Protective Clear Coat Finish. And also I was wondering if you are spraying it out of the can or if your using your airbrush.
Michael McNeive I don’t use the rattle cans ordinarily. I have used them and they’re fine but I didn’t decant them and spray them. The only clear coat I spray out of the airbrush comes from the quart which is not in a pressurized can. It’s just a quart of clear just like paint you would buy for your house. Open with a screwdriver and there it is. I mix it with a little thinner and then spray it.
And what about that thinner - is it Duplicolor as well or some other brand? Sorry for all of the questions, but it would really help if we could see the actual spray products as you are using them. As always, I appreciate all of your feedback. You've been very helpful. Mac
And what about the thinner, is it dupli-color as well or is it another brand. I'm sorry about all of the questions. I'm getting ready to purchase Dupli-color Gloss Clear Coat 32oz can #EBSP30000. I hope it's the same stuff that you're talking about. Just a suggestion, If you could show us the products that you're using as you're using them, (primer, paint, clear coat) est. it would be easier for us, who are trying to follow you. I know that most of the time I can see what you are using, It's just a little unclear when you are painting. As usual, I appreciate all of your feedback. You've been most helpful. Thx, Mac
Michael McNeive it is dupli color clear coat also from a quart.
I cringed, watching you spin the body shell around on its roof while attaching the windows.
Also, laying the tape roll on its side, where the edges could pick up debris.
That aside, I'm picking up some good tips for modeling in general and car models in particular. Thanks for your efforts!
Angelo, I'm working on a Charger similar to the one you just did. Well, it looks like I overdid the back side of the car. It looks all frosty. I'll never be able to sand it all out. Did you clear coat the back end of your charger? I sprayed it by itself because I knew that I wouldn't be able to sand and polish with the car assembled. And I used a spray can, which I've never used before. Can you tell me what I'm doing wrong? Thx, Mac
Michael McNeive hi Mac, I’m not really sure without seeing what you’re doing. If you can’t sand then you’ve got to strip it back with oven cleaner or purple power and give it another crack. I’ve had to do that plenty....
Hi Angelo, I am working on a model very similar to the one you're building. However, I'm using an airbrush and I'm having a terrible time getting a good finish. It seems like it's going on too dry and ends up looking splotchy. I am using Zero matte black paint, painting the bottom of the passenger tub. Got any ideas? Just can't seem to get it right. I'm so tired of fighting to try to get decent finishes. Frustrated!!! Feel like giving up on airbrushing all together.
Michael McNeive it takes a little practice but you can get it. Make sure you have got the paint thinned to the right consistency. You might consider trying some pre-thinned paint to start with so you get the feel of both the airbrush and the consistency and then move into mixing your own.
Hang in there and stick with it - you can get this.
Shouldn't the rear view mirror go on the windshield?
xbpbat21x hi and thanks for the question. Following the kit instructions there is a small area outlined on the roof for the mirror. Looking at 1:1 cars online it appears they were in fact mounted to the roof as opposed the the glass. It is a little different than most cars but does appear to be correct.
@@AngelosWorkbench Thanks for your speedy reply. I've been watching your videos. Very informative. Its nice to watch you go step by step. Im still having problems with visible brush strokes and getting light spots and dark spots with my paint application. Do you usually air brush all your parts? And I've been getting pretty good with the bare metal technique...gonna try your sharpie trick. Great videos...thanks again!
xbpbat21x hello again, I do airbrush just about everything on my builds however this build was meant to show that you can get good results without an airbrush.
@@AngelosWorkbench I'm thinking about purchasing an airbrush...just wanting to make sure i get the basics down first. You say the airbrush makes a big difference?
xbpbat21x huge. It takes the whole thing to the next level. It takes practice with the most important thing being thinning the paint properly.
